Streetposts

After much research and investigation, I have started in earnest on my streetposts project. I think I'm going to use net beans. I started to make a database today in OpenOfficeBase. I setup the structure of all of the tables according to google's specification, and set the primary keys. I made all of the tables using the names supplied by the google transit api.

After, I was going field by field and setting up the sizes of the fields and entering descriptions (What is the maximum length for a description?), as well as input masks. when I had it all the way I wanted it for the first table. I clicked on the save table button, and the majority portion of my recent work was destroyed, or maybe all of it. So I entered it again, and the same thing happened when I hit save. This is really frustrating.

What is up with OoBase? :-( !
